Volume 2: Boundless Walker Chapter 90 One of the traditions of the Ke family is...
In the North, Tusca Fortress.
Built entirely for military purposes, the Tosca Fortress abandoned the beauty of urban construction and only remained practical and sturdy. Therefore, the entire fortress looks extremely rough, like a monster crawling on the horizon, staring at the border with Tesin.
The Second Northern Legion is stationed at Fort Tusca.
With the arrival of Archduke Scrooge, the First Legion also entered the Tusca Fortress.
The two legions of 60,000 people did not fill Tusca. On the contrary, many places were very empty. The Tusca Fortress was originally built to trade with Tesin, but as the old archduke emerged in the North and gradually became the lord of the North, the relationship between the two sides began to deteriorate. The founder of the K family, the first archduke and guardian of the North, directly changed the city of Tusca into the Tusca Fortress, and began to transform it according to the standard of a 100,000-year-round garrison.
There are towering city walls on the ground.
There are densely packed bunkers underground.
In particular, the hidden passages are enough for the cavalry to launch a charge.
Apart from the Ke family, no one knows how large the underground space of Tusca Fortress is.
Just like people don’t know how powerful Archduke Scrooge, the son of the old Archduke, is.
Rumor has it that Lord Scrooge has long stood at the top of the kingdom.
Others say that Lord Scrooge was injured in his early years and lost the opportunity to stand at the top.
But what is the truth?
Nobody knows.
This was because most people had never seen this Grand Duke take action - the rise of the Grand Duke's eldest son, Simlek, had already attracted much attention, and at every critical moment, it was this Grand Duke's eldest son who stepped forward.
Therefore, it seems to be confirmed that Lord Scrooge was injured in his early years and lost the opportunity to stand at the top.
However, Alger Aldridge, the captain of the Night Watch 17 team, scoffed at this.
How could the Guardian of the North, the Grand Duke of the Ke family, be defeated by injuries?
Even if affected, it is extremely limited!
Prior to this, the captain of the Night's Watch 17th team firmly believed that even if Lord Scrooge was not as good as himself, he was definitely not much different.
But now?
"Scrooge, I think we can talk - of course, it would be better if you could be more calm."
The sword hero in the morning light, the protector of Hela, Cid and the entire island of Do, the 'Sword Saint' on the Smoker Plains, the liberator of Devil Island, the uncrowned king of Enzo Mountain, the king to whom the Hildaks are forever loyal, the marshal of the Second War of the Roses covered his swollen left eye and sighed helplessly.
Although he had been mentally prepared before, it was still a little hard for him to accept when Lord Scrooge punched him in the eye and he had no way to avoid it.
That punch...
hiss!
Damn old bear!
As expected, there is no normal person in the Ke family!
Especially this old bear!
Such power has transcended the mundane world!
The corner of Alger Aldridge's .
He was now certain that Scrooge was plotting something.
Otherwise, if such strength was displayed, Tesin would not be able to resist it at all.
But...
The fighting power of one man and one country!
"Sorry, I just received a piece of information and I'm not in a good mood."
Lord Scrooge, with a simple yet hearty smile, helped Alger Aldridge to the side.
For some reason, the captain of Team 17 of the Night Watch felt a tremor in his heart.
He regarded the Archduke with increasing suspicion.
"Gergil just received news that Faber sent a detachment of the 'Rose Knights' to attack him and Goethe..."
"Is Goethe okay?"
Alger Aldridge frowned.
"It's okay. My nephew... behaved quite well!"
When Lord Scrooge talks about his family, a proud smile appears on his face.
After all, being able to kill a Tier 2 professional with just one baptism means his talent is even stronger than Smlei’s, especially since Goethe had only come into contact with the [Voliber Breathing Method] a few days ago!
Such talent...
It’s extremely scary!
But it's enough to attract some guys' attention!
Thinking of this, the Grand Duke added almost subconsciously.
"I was not disappointed, and it was worth it for me to train him since he was young."
"Trained since childhood?"
"You taught Goethe secretly when he was in Lust?"
Alger Aldridge frowned.
This was somewhat inconsistent with the information he had collected.
Alger Aldridge still has great faith in the intelligence department of the "Secret Keeper".
"Yeah, it was when we were in Lust!"
"Alger, do you have any questions?"
As he spoke these words, Archduke Scrooge gave Alger Aldridge a kind smile - this smile was exactly the same as the one he had just given when he punched the captain of the 'Secret Keeper' Team 17 in the eye.
No!
Now, even more kind!
The captain of the Secret Keeper Team 17 could already feel the hand of Archduke Scrooge tightening on his shoulder. The force was so strong that it made his muscles and bones creak.
"No."
Alger Aldridge shook his head with a wry smile.
"That's good!"
"Hahaha!"
Archduke Scrooge suddenly loosened his clenched palm and slapped Alger Aldridge's shoulder hard. The shoulder that had just creaked now made a thumping sound.
Loud laughter covered up the noise.
It also conceals the murderous intentions of Lord Scrooge.
Just now, the Grand Duke was planning to kill someone to silence him.
But when he thought of a certain guy among the 'Secret Keepers', the Grand Duke gave up temporarily.
So, he chose another safe way.
"Remember what you said!"
"Otherwise, something bad will happen!"
Lord Scrooge looked at Alger Aldridge sternly.
The bitter smile on the face of the captain of Team 17, the "Secret Keeper", became more and more intense.
As a third-level swordsman 'sword holder', he could clearly feel some slight changes in his body. It was not the kind of reckless force, but a more delicate and vicious force.
"Your son really looks a lot like you."
Alger Aldridge said so.
At this time, he thought of Gejil and Enmle.
Gjeer saw it with his own eyes.
Enmlai had seen it in the information.
Neither of them was as upright as Simlai, the legitimate heir to the North, so much so that he even doubted whether something had happened to the Ke family and whether some color had appeared on the Grand Duke's head.
But now it seems?
Exactly the same.
"How can a son not look like his father?"
"However, I would like to correct one point. It should be: All the descendants with the blood of the Ke family are very similar - me, Simlai, Enmlai, Gejier, and Goethe are all very similar."
"As for Nina?"
"She is a good child. As long as we men are around, she will grow up happily."
Lord Scrooge laughed again.
Looking at the laughing Lord Scrooge, Alger Aldridge sighed in his heart.
Why is it that someone who looks so generous is so dirty and outrageous in private?
only……
What is the other party planning?
The captain of the 17th team of the "Secret Keeper" guessed in his heart, but asked tentatively on the surface.
"So, my plan to take Goethe back to Bodø to receive the core training of the 'Secret Keeper' is..."
"If you want to die, I will grant your wish now."
Lord Scrooge looked at Alger Aldridge with a smile, his expression did not change at all, but the murderous intent that had just disappeared from his eyes reappeared.
Moreover, it is stronger than before.
Alger Aldridge sensed it and immediately raised his hands to indicate that he gave up.
However, he was still talking.
"The Secret Keeper will be a pure land!"
"Pure Land?"
“Tsk.”
Lord Scrooge was very disdainful.
He said:
"When will the 22 Secret Keepers' captains be able to return to Tesin, instead of taking turns to guard the secret realms of 'Fairy Lake' and 'Dragon Island' controlled by the Tesin royal family? You are talking to me about the so-called pure land!"
"Do you really think this is to deal with the 'disaster' that will occur when the secret realm appears?"
"That guy...ha, he's just an old bastard."
“Of course, even the old bastard is much better than Woodrow, so you can continue to stand here and talk to me.”
Alger Aldridge frowned.
Woodrow should refer to Woodrow Modeus George, also known as George VI.
Alger Aldridge had met His Majesty the King more than once.
Even, in a way, familiar.
He envied the other person's leisurely lifestyle.
However, according to Lord Scrooge, this King seems to be quite extraordinary?
"Go back and ask that old bastard about these things!"
"If he is willing to tell you, you will know."
"If I don't want to tell you, you can't know."
"And me?"
"I've told you enough!"
"So, I think you should do me a favor!"
Lord Scrooge smiled at Alger Aldridge again.
"What's the matter?"
The captain of the 17th team, the "Secret Keeper", had a bad feeling in his heart.
"It's just a small favor! It's just a small favor!"
Lord Scrooge said, throwing a punch.
This punch was not fast, and even soft.
However, Alger Aldridge did not dare to be careless. He was on guard, and the sword energy filled with the breath of morning light spread out. Then... the Grand Duke put away his fist and continued to smile: "Alright."
Alger Aldridge was stunned.
Then, the captain of the 17th team, the "Secret Keeper", thought of something.
Suddenly, his face changed drastically.
"you……"
"It's just what you think!"
Lord Scrooge interrupted Alger Aldridge and smiled again in the other's horrified eyes.
"So, I would like to ask you to stay here for a while longer."
"Not too long, maybe a day or two."
“Even shorter.”
Lord Scrooge said.
"Why?"
Alger Aldridge was full of confusion.
It has been hidden for so long, why is it suddenly exposed?
Has what was planned been accomplished?
Lord Scrooge certainly wouldn't tell him.
Just a short while ago.
He was only a third-level warrior, the 'Hellblood', but he suddenly completed the advancement and stepped into the fourth-level 'Fearless' in one step - and the materials he prepared for Simlai were also used up.
The whole process was very hazy.
Even the voice of his deceased wife appeared in his ears.
He kept telling his deceased wife about his longing for her and the growth of his children.
Then, when everything was normal, he found that he had been promoted to the fourth level.
It's a bit unbelievable.
Lord Scrooge didn't know if this was an epiphany or what, but the Lord knew something.
He was finally qualified to sit opposite George VI.
